What is a blog?

What is a blog? Well, I think it was best put by my cousin Anna, who lives in Alabama. She told me when I was about seven or six years old that a blog was "a place where you write about your life, and people pretend to care." I don't know exactly how I can remember such a fact when I was so young and blogs were just on the uprise, but I did. I believe that this is a sign of my true intellictual capability and superiority (i was just kidding.... really).
What this blog will end up being used for is probably just like a diary, or a grouping of lists put together than none other than myself. I would indeed like to use this blog for more intellectual purposes, but I do have limits, and no one really wants to listen to me ramble about the faults of the Articles of Confederation or the anatomy of a porcupine.
Anyways, if ever you have something to say about one of my posts, just drop a comment, and I'll read it. Unless you're mean. Then I won't.
